The film follows Snow as he tries to resolve the church's mounting debt and the struggles of the Mormon settlers suffering through a drought.
In the film, Snow prophesies to the people of St. George, Utah, that they will be able to harvest their crops if they obey the law of tithing.
Contemporary historical records do not support that Snow made the prophecy depicted in the film; instead, he promised generalized prophetic blessings for obeying the law of tithing.
However, the rainfall caused extensive damage and contemporary church leaders did not connect it to the payment of tithing.
A 10-minute version of the film was included in the 2006 three-disc DVD compilation on LDS Church history.
